Takashi Shiraishi, ed.

TRANS-04, 1994 , 153 pages. 9780877274032 paperback $18.95

This text is the fourth and final volume in a series of essays by Japanese scholars of Southeast Asia. Essayists include Yoshinori Murai, whose "The Authoritarian Bureaucratic Politics of Development: Indonesia under Suharto's New Order" considers the political styles and methodologies of Suharto's New Order government, and Yuri Sato, whose "The Development of Business Groups in Indonesia: 1967-1989" studies the economic development of Indonesia under Suharto. Yosuke Fuke's essay, "Used-Clothing Routes: From Japan to Indonesia," is a delightfully unique study of one aspect of the economic and cultural relationship between Japan and Indonesia. This collection is a learned, erudite, and eminently readable study of Suharto's regime. Illustrations. Maps.

“This collection of essays convincingly proves that contemporary Japanese scholarship can make valuable contributions to the Indonesian and international community of scholars . . . of modern Indonesia.” Crossroads

“ . . . the local-level approach to contemporary Indonesia gives readers a refreshing perspective and much-needed gateway to our understanding of Indonesia.” Antara Kita
